Love Island fans point out how young Gemma Owen was the last time Adam Collard appeared in the villa

LOVE Island’s stars were bowled over when villa legend Adam Collard stormed into the villa tonight.

But some pointed out there was a good reason Gemma Owen might not have recognised him quite as quickly as the others.

As one viewer put it: “Gemma was 15 when adam collard was on love island.”

Another joked: “Gemma does not have a clue who Adam Collard is. She had to go to bed at 9pm when Season 4 was on.”

A third tweeted: “The last time Adam Collard was in the villa Gemma was 15.”

Gemma, who is now, 19, responded in a matter-of-fact way when the former Love Island star came in.

The girls whooped: “He looks like Adam Collard” but she replied simply: “That’s because it is.”

The Newcastle personal trainer appeared on the 2018 series – but many were shocked that he’s still relatively young.

Many reckoned he should now be in his 40s by now given how much time has has passed since he was last on the show.

However, he is not even the oldest person in the Love Island villa this year – aged just 26.

However, one viewer tweeted: “How in the HELL is that Adam Collard only 26?! He’s 36 stop lying.”

Adam made an immediate impact in the villa on Monday night, making moves on Gemma and Paige Thorne.

The Welsh paramedic even hinted she might be interested, suggesting she could get revenge on Jacques O’Neill for kissing another girl at the show’s Casa Amor stage.

Love Island returns to ITV2 at 9pm on Tuesday
